Front Row Pearl Jam Tickets Cost $1500 in Toronto

I am an avid Pearl Jam fan, and when I heard that Eddie Vedder was coming to Toronto, I was extremely excited. I have seen Pearl Jam at least 5 times, so I knew that tickets would go fast. I also knew what the ballpark price range would be.

I had to work when tickets went on sale, so I gave my credit card number to my girlfriend. I told her to get front row and that I did not care about the price. She went on Ticketmaster's site right at 10:00 am, and Ticketmaster had a pop-up window that told her to go to TicketsNow. Front row tickets would normally range from $80-$100. On TicketsNow, the price we paid for 2, after all was said and done, was $1500.00.

I realize I told her I did not care about the price and that I wanted front row. I also expected to pay the going rate. Ticketmaster is a multi-million dollar company, if not a billion dollar one. They already overprice their service charges, so why do they have to go this far? I work really hard for my money, and I was willing to spend up to $200 on seeing my favorite performer, not $1500! I am still trying to pay that off, and it does not help that I just got laid off. Even if I do not get a penny back, I want to see them pay back a lot of the money they took from other people!
